My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Re: Thai junta leader warns critics will be prosecuted
Remove the politics and you are still left with:
- A failing economy, falling exports
- Arrests for criticizing government plans/policies
- 72% of public spending for BKK (whee 17% of populations lives)
- rejection of draft constitution by drafting organization members to prolong coup
- 0.1 percent of Thais holding ~50% the country’s total wealth
Things are starting to snowball and gather momentum heading downhill. Time to act is now, changing the economic team was a good start.

the global economy is tanking. thailand is just along for the ride. the less debt the government has and the more isolated the Thai economy is from the outside world the better.
